The MRes Language and Cognition programme explores the relationship between language and cognition from a linguistic and psychological point of view and introduces students to a broad range of research methodologies, from corpus analyses to eye tracking and ERPs. This unique interdisciplinary programme builds on two areas of particular research strength at Northumbria: cognitive linguistics in the Department of Humanities and psycholinguistics in the Department of Psychology (School of Life Sciences), and it taught jointly by both departments. It will appeal to graduates of English language, modern languages, linguistics, psychology, and cognitive science. Further details are available from http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/static/5007/sasspdf/MResCognition.pdf The more traditional MRes in Linguistics and MRes in English Language programmes are designed for students who have an interest in any area of the broad field of linguistics which may include, but are not limited to: - language structure - discourse analysis - language and meaning - language acquisition - language variation - linguistic theory Further details are available from http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/static/5007/sasspdf/MResLinguistics.pdf Although the programmes may be taken as stand-alone degrees, it is anticipated that a significant proportion of the students will continue on to a PhD; hence there is a strong emphasis on research methods and independent research. We are also able to offer four studentships for the MRes Language and Cognition and a total of a further four studentships for the MRes Linguistics and MRes English Language in the form of a fee-waiver for full-time study from September 2011. The application deadline for studentships has been extended to 7 July 2011, with interviews taking place w/c 25 July 2011. Full details are available on our website at: http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/sd/academic/sass/mreswaiver/?view=Standard Successful applicants should have at least an upper-second class honours undergraduate degree (or overseas equivalent) in a relevant discipline. Applicants for whom English is not their first language should have an IELTS score of 7 (or equivalent).
